I didn't check if this class will work together with all Windows versions.
Note that Windows 95 is not supported by the .NET Framework at all.

You can also do it by issuing the following command:
shutdown.exe -s -t 00

shutdown.exe is in the System32 folder

Are you sure "shutdown.exe" is available on Windows 98/Me too? The DLL Help
Database only lists it for Windows XP and some other products:
